    I just heard on the wireless that Rangers are to gift the naming rights for HQ to a charity, as yet unnamed. Vey noble, if a little surprising. Which charity would you suggest?. I think I'd go for Amnesty, but then again....

    I can think of some but the better part of me will not permit me to put in the public space

    I was at a meeting with Lee Hoos on Monday evening when this was discussed with a few of us. The Kiyan Prince Foundation Stadium seems to be the most likely charity of choice.

    The main reason for the meeting was to try and get QPR fans onboard and to get them to sign the Linford Christie Stadium consultation.

    Shows the club in a good light and points out to Hammersmith council what a local club we are and that we really are an asset to the borough........

    Like you Rich, I think the KPF is the obvious choice with its local/QPR connection to someone who was one of our own, and to the fact that the problem is so prevalent right now.

    Grenfell United is another local charity...but may be a bit too politically sensitive...bearing in mind we want to keep in Hammersmith and Fulhams good books

    Do I understand it has to be a charity based in W12?

    Kiyan Prince hard to beat especially with the problem of knife crime currently as Staines mentioned.

    What’s in it for the charity?

    Gamblers Anonymous would seem most appropriate to me.

    Can’t believe some of the negativity I’m reading about this idea.
    Seems a good move by the club in my opinion. Give the rights to a charity (The KPF) for a season, makes the club look good AND gives the charity some well deserved coverage. Then sell it on after season upon season for £10 million plus in advertising rights.....

    Am I missing something that makes it a terrible idea ?
